I love the look of the black GTA rims, but I was wondering about the offset they give. The rims I have now have a perfect offset, but they are getting corroded and just don't look very pretty up close. =(

Anyway, they use 245/60/15 tires, how much different are the GTA's? I know they are 16's, not 15's, but I have no clue what the other numbers mean, hehe...

 

GTA offsets are 0mm for front and 16mm offset for rear. The cars with drums (non aluminum) came with like a 1/8th spacer for the rear. I always found that combo weird since the front offset was deeper than the rear (should be the other way around like on most normal rwd cars).

I just opted to get all front 0mm GTAs since my 15s were all 0mm offset and I did not have to use a spacer. Plus its nice being able to rotate the tires any direction I want instead of side to side.

 

Yeah when I got my noew rims off I took my black GTA rims off and they were all fronts 0mm offset. I would have never noticed without taking them off.

 

Well I do thing the black GTA wheels make any of our cars look alot better. I will have to thank you for the info that the fronts will fit on all four corners, wish I would have known it sooner I would have a set of them now.

 

Well I still have all four if your ever interested.

 

HEY HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT FOR THOSE RIMS? PM ME

 

Yea tell me how much you want for those rims to. I been looken everywhere for em. Been looking everywhere in Bergen County.

 

I'll take a pic of them, I would refinish them but they are way better than most of the ones I see for sale.. I'll post a pic on here for you.. See if you still want them..

 

Yes do post, I may be interested in them as well...

 

I am supposed to get off work early tonight so I'll get them out of the attic and take some pics..

 

ok here are some pics, they are a little dirty but you get the idea.. they are in good shape for how old they are, you can see some marks on the aluminum that look like scratches, they are not scratches, but places were the clear coat is just messing up some.. You can rub your fingers over these spots and they are still perfectly smooth, I guess the clear coat just doesn't last, that's why I have seen people stripping it off of these rims..

those were pictures of just one of them, the one that has the clearcoat messed up the most.. Make me an offer and I will find out how much shipping will cost you.. Later..

 

If none of these guys are interested, let me know I would love to have them as well, but I wont purchase them out from under someone else, you know that respect thing for another f-body enthusiest.

 

Well I am only able to offer $250.. I am still paying for my college here. So my car is kind of a last thing....Sad to say..But i DID clean it up real nice toda...perfect weather..t-tops off and a gleam on the car..wish I had those rims though lol... Well good bidding to all.

well they are still for sale, one person said they pm'ed me and I told him I need his zip and state to get the shipping price for him but have not heard anything back.

 

Where in Texas are you located? Have you put a price to the wheels yet?

 

I noticed on those GTA rims that there is a firebird emblem in the center, mine don't have that, it has a A.R.E. emblem which stands for american racing equipment.

 

I dont think it should say ARE. Either ARE made a similar wheel or someone stuck ARE stickers on the centercaps?

 

A.R.E. is an aftermarket wheel manufacturer. Those aren't GTA or optional Trans Am rims that supermaxxbasher has. That A.R.E. wheel was a popular wheel back in the 80's... but nowhere near as light as the original Pontiac rims.

 

Im in Abilene Tx about 3 hours west of dallas.. Looking for around 250 plus shipping, or if someone wants to pic them up that's cool too..

 

So those are aftermarket rims I have on my car. Thats awesome if they are.

 

Give me just a bit to put some extra dollars together and well have to work something out. I may even have to make a road trip down state.

 

cool, just let me know when ever... and yeah road trips suck especially here in TX, nothing to look at.. I have to drive to houston late next week to pick up my new T/A, that's like 6hours from here..

 

Hey I'm currently in Houston. If your deal doesn't work out with TX_1987_GTA, I'd be EXTREMELY interested!!! Let me know.

 

If you guys strike a deal thats cool, In my book money talks & the rest walks and at the moment Im walking guys, LOL (translation, Im poor )

 

Doesn't metter to me really, whom ever wants them just let me know and send me your city state and zip so I can find out shipping for you..

 

Dreamstate21X..,you've got a PM
